Change across the exhibitions and business events industry is accelerating. Our UFI data shows: Attracting the right talent is one of the top issues now and in the coming years. So we continue to work with our industry to empower us as a sector to win the right people for our businesses. UFI just released a new white paper, where we address the challenges of talent attraction in our industry. It offers valuable insights for organisations to develop their own unique Employee Value Propositions (EVPs). An overview of the key takeaways in the paper: 1️⃣ Focusing Our Identity: The exhibition industry has long struggled with defining its identity. We provide suggestions on how to unite on a common talent narrative and customize our "people story" to attract the best talent. 2️⃣ Talent Attraction: We have faced challenges in explaining what we do and selling the future of our industry. However, with the post-pandemic work trends and the arrival of Gen-Z, we have an excellent opportunity to rebuild our attractiveness and nurture the management pipeline. 3️⃣ What Matters to Gen-Z: Our Next Generation Leaders (NGLs) have shared their perspective on what Gen-Z talent values. From authentic commitment to diversity to career development and fair compensation, we have the insights to attract the talent we need. 4️⃣ Developing Your EVP: To create a compelling Employee Value Proposition, we need to focus on areas like DEI, sustainability, flexible work options, career development, and fair compensation. By sharing our passion and drive as community builders, we can ignite the interest of potential candidates. You can access the full white paper below, the link is in the comments - let us know what you think! #CommunityBuilders #IndustryTransformation #TalentAttraction #EVPDevelopment #ufinews #ufiadvocacy

What After GHC? I hope you had some well-deserved and necessary time to rest and recharge during the weekend! Now that the conference is over, what next? - Follow up. Follow up. Follow up. This is key. A spreadsheet might be helpful in tracking. - If you attended the expo fair, try to apply to the GHC-specific career page links at your earliest (they usually close up soon and have a deadline). Schedule the interviews and reach out to the hiring team on LinkedIn to gain more visibility. - Connect with the people you met/ interacted with on LinkedIn Ms. Ahva once gave me this tip, and I have found it super helpful: for every single person you meet, request them to connect you to three more people who might be interested in you/ what you are doing! Try that out: it works. - Keep being a part of the AnitaB.org. membership events and interact with the alumni network even after GHC. It's a supportive community! - Extend the help to future #womenintech - Be a good human!! :))) Please feel free to add more tips to the comment section (I will be happy to update the post). It was heartwarming all of last week to read all the wonderful experiences that the #GHC2023 attendees shared on my feed. It was also eye-opening and sad to read about some of the not-so-wonderful experiences I came across too (read: long queues, lack of a safe space, too many non-GHC target demographics taking up the precious spots). I applaud EACH ONE of you for being yourselves during the conference and for sharing your own story candidly, as that's the true mission that allies all women and non-binaries in tech: striving to be ourselves, especially when it gets tough! 💕 My heartfelt shoutout to all the amazing, patient, and helpful recruiters, talent acquisition team members, HR, and all the GHC speakers, sponsors, patrons, hoppers, and anybody on the team who tried to make the event better. Finally, I also read this incredible post recently by Yue Yao; check her out if you haven't already! #ghc2023 #ghc #networking

Are you still thinking about why you should attend that conference? Here are some reasons I think you should; ⭐ Networking - it takes meeting just one right person to change your life for good. A conference is a gathering where you meet different people, some key decision-makers and people who may help you. Have your elevator pitch ready, be respectful and open to meeting people. ✨ Acquiring more knowledge - a conference is also an avenue to learn and unlearn many things, make sure you learn as much as you can and give as much as you know to others. ⭐ Job opportunities - this is of great importance to many attendees. Many company talent acquisition teams use this avenue to source talents for potential recruitment, provide various job positions available and answer interested participants about it. ✨ Self Discovery - I love how conferences help me identify my weaknesses, strengths and skills I never thought I had. I hope you better understand why you should plan to attend the next conference you know about and are willing to attend!

✅ Thanks for attending our first panel on Attracting Talent: Effective Hiring in a Competitive Market 📣 Our amazing panellists were: Harriet Lunney from myGwork, Paul Casey from HCA Healthcare, Pavandeep Kaur Mann from Parexel, Charlotte Steggall from WTW, Harsha Bhosale from Oracle, and Frankie Dadzie from Linklaters. 🌈 ICYMI - Here are the best quotes: 🗣️ "I don't just believe that inclusion is a trend, but it is a much-needed elevation of perspective that all of us as individuals need to intentionally have. It is not just a good thing to do, but if you want to stay ahead of the competition today, you need to be an inclusive workplace" - Harsha Bhosale 🗣️ "Make sure that... [recruitment] is a fair and equitable process so that everyone has the same opportunities throughout, regardless of their background or circumstance." - Paul Casey 🗣️ "The right people will come [to your business] according to what you are putting out there. It’s really important to showcase people from all different backgrounds. Celebrate that everybody's unique and everybody has their own journey" - Pavandeep Kaur Mann 🗣️ “Young people are able to trust employers more when they are making an active effort to connect with them [on social media]" - Frankie Dadzie 🗣️ “For me it’s all about being true to yourself in your branding - people want to see you being authentic" - Charlotte Steggall ↪️ You can still sign up and be a part of WorkFair 2023: https://ow.ly/nAR650PXIeN #WorkingWithPride

🎤 The power of talking about lived experiences 🎤 Yesterday I was absolutely buzzing after being a part of this incredible panel at the Recruitment Expo (a special thanks to Jo Major (She/her) who pulled us together for this!). We had the opportunity to speak about our lived experiences in the recruitment industry, the things no one wants to have to talk about and the things people don't want to hear, and it was incredibly eye-opening and thought provoking. It left me thinking about the commercial reasons for why DE&I is so important, and the glaringly obvious thing is that incredible talent is leaving our industry because businesses aren't adapting to the needs of different people enough. Losing people, losing experience, losing relationships and losing knowledge costs recruitment business $$$$ every year. What also struck me, was how easy it can be to make changes to be more inclusive, you don't need to reinvent the wheel. Things like making the effort to understand different neurodiversity's and how you can flex to accommodate someone's needs, having a zero tolerance policy on all forms of hate speech, investing in DE&I training for your business (it really doesn't cost that much!) and if you're in a position of power especially, simply calling out the nonsense when people aren't being inclusive makes a huge difference. Together we can all make small changes that add up to big differences. The time to do this is right now. Amy Weidner Miles Lloyd Chikere Igbokwe (She/Her) Matt Ashby-Cooper thank you for everything you said and brought to the table yesterday, and thank you for the work you're all doing. #inclusiverecruitment #diversityandinclusion #dei

🌟 We're excited to welcome MedCerts, a multi-state health care company, to JFF’s Fair Chance Corporate Cohort! 🌟 As the first health care organization to participate in this initiative, MedCerts sets a compelling example by dismantling barriers imposed by multifaceted background checks and fostering equitable employment opportunities. Why is Fair Chance Hiring Crucial in Healthcare? 💡 Diversity and Inclusion: Embracing inclusivity enhances patient care quality and strengthens team dynamics. 💡 Community Impact: Hiring individuals from diverse backgrounds, including people with records, helps address health disparities and supports comprehensive community health initiatives. 💡 Talent Pool Expansion: Fair chance hiring accesses a broader range of skilled professionals, which is crucial for alleviating staffing shortages in vital areas. Why does this matter? Health care job growth is expected to skyrocket, making it the largest employment sector in the United States. The health care and social assistance sector is projected to add 3.8 million jobs, driven by the Affordable Care Act and demographic shifts from an aging population. According to a study out of The Johns Hopkins University, workers who are given a fair chance have demonstrated that they are dedicated employees who can do the job and grow with companies. This further contributes to economic health and public safety in communities. We applaud MedCerts Partner Solutions for their bold commitment to inclusivity and innovation and for opening the door to fair chance employment in the health care industry.
